I am syndicated. Show me some respect. When I was a kid, I wanted to be the Mexican Louis Armstrong. They would've called me: Dirty Satchmo.

¡Hola! I am a 6th generation Tucsonan indigenous to the Sonoran Desert living in L.A. My new graphic novel “Death to Pachuco” is available for preorder. True crime historical fiction based on the Zoot Suit Riots. Art by @ohhhaeee.bsky.social & Lee Loughridge. bindings.app/read/WqFIouc...
I’m just starting to tell people to stick to pin ups and covers. It’s not worth it anymore.
Had an artist reach out saying they were interested in collaborating. Told them to send me their comic portfolio.
A few hours later they reach out and say they have no idea what a comic artist portfolio looks like and if I could just look at their pin ups.
Nope! You're not ready.

Also major s/o to 80s films and in particular @rsbenedict.bsky.social groundbreaking essay bloodknife.com/everyone-bea... that was the direct catalyst about me making a comic about sad divorced people fucking.
Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny - Blood Knife
The human body has become a strange contradiction at the heart of the modern blockbuster. Sexy, yes. But sexual? No.

100%-If I hadnt made Adult Romance (thanks gumroad for banning it!!!) theres no chance @henrybarajas.bsky.social would have seen my work, let alone put me on Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco with him.
Its a cliche but its true, make the work you wanna make in order to someday do this professionally.

If you ever wanted to see these stories on TV you NEED to buy these comics to tell the studios it's worth doing!

#OTD in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which cleared the way for the U.S. to incarcerate Japanese Americans in internment camps for the duration of World War II — and set a dangerous precedent for the future. #TheMarchContinues

I love the instant player feedback in Is This Seat Taken? by @potipoti.studio. A little shape guy is like, "I want a burger," so you drag him by his scruff to the restaurant counter where there's a burger waiting for him and as soon as you put him down he smiles and bounces with delight.

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.
I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.
